Questions About 2016 Buick Regal’s Transmission

  • How much can I tow in a Buick Regal? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small.

  • When should I have my Regal's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Buick Regal’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Buick. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Buick Regal transmission fluid leak? Yes. Buick Regal transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing.
